When resize "w" or "e" from the left y axis, position of div box is changed - moved

Reduced - http://jsfiddle.net/tj_vantoll/54Zc2/. This is happening because of the

margin: auto;

on the resizable element. I'm not sure this is something that resizable can or should support.

Anybody else have thoughts?

TJ, I'm sure you're right, but how does margin: auto cause this bug?

Whoops forgot to mention that. If you remove the

margin: auto;

rule or change it to some static value like

50px

in my test case above the problem will go away.

The problem will go away if you remove the margin:auto; but what if want, when resizing on the left, the box to resize on the right automaticaaly as happenes on http://jsfiddle.net/KqAaU/4/ ?

So the problem is when margin is set to auto or with % value f.e. 80%

Check out this: http://jsfiddle.net/KqAaU/5/

try to resize west. the whole box moves on the left. This happens only on this situation, on the opposite (box be on the left side and resize east) does not happen..

Percentage based margins work just fine. Your example is still using

margin: auto;

, if I change it to a percentage based value it works fine http://jsfiddle.net/tj_vantoll/fsHVG/.

This is a separate issue but it looks the resizable interaction does not handle

right

correctly http://jsfiddle.net/tj_vantoll/3Rzsu/. Draggable has the same problem (see #7772).

Yeah, it's impossible to tell how the user has positioned an element. Interactions always assume left/top.

For now, a workaround would be to set the margin equal to the margin before drag. I think this needs to be marked as "cantfix". Someone else reopen if you disagree.
